Objective:
To assess the efficacy of a novel systematic approach aimed at improving a resident physician's ability to perform analysis of the aging face.
Study Design:
Prospective randomized case-control study.
Setting:
Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education accredited Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency program.
Methods:
Twenty otolaryngology-head and neck surgery residents were randomized into 2 groups with even representation in each postgraduate year level in each cohort. One group used traditional materials (textbooks), and the other group was given exclusive access to the online learning module featuring a systematic approach to aging-face analysis. Both groups completed preactivity, postactivity, and retention assessments to gauge their ability to perform a comprehensive analysis of the aging face.
Results:
When compared with a matched control cohort, the residents who used the systematic approach performed more comprehensive facial aging assessments immediately after the intervention and at a retention time point.
Conclusion:
A systematic approach delivered via an 11-minute online module can significantly improve a resident physician's ability to perform analysis of the aging face. This systematic approach could be easily integrated into other online or traditional educational curriculums. Moreover, this methodology could be applied to additional areas in which residents have limited exposure but must develop expertise.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
